New musical comedy by Mike Meier and Peter Giambalvo plays Harrisburg, Midtown International Theater Festival, Rogue Theater Festival, and Philadelphia Fringe.
Written by Mike Meier and Peter Giambalvo, Shangri-La-La is a fast-moving one-hour musical comedy filled with original songs, Vegas glamour, impossible dreams, outrageous costumes, Bugsy Siegel, Steve Wynn, friendship, spectacle, and just enough tiger danger to keep everyone alert.
The musical takes audiences inside the illusion machine of Las Vegas, where two outsiders transform themselves into global icons and help reshape the image of the Strip. It is a story about ambition, reinvention, spectacle, mythmaking, and the strange American alchemy that turns risk, rhinestones, and show business into legend.
The festival version of Shangri-La-La focuses on the dazzling creation myth of Siegfried & Roy at Steve Wynn’s Mirage Hotel, leaving the courtroom behind and leaning into comedy, music, and the theatrical excess of the Vegas dream. The result is part satire, part show-business fable, and part love letter to performers reckless enough to imagine a bigger life.
“This is a comedy about reinvention,” said writer-composer Mike Meier. “Siegfried & Roy came to America and built a dream so large it needed white tigers, sequins, smoke, mirrors, and a 3,000-room hotel to contain it. That is musical theater material.”
The show has recently drawn attention from theater and entertainment outlets, including BroadwayWorld, NYCPlaywrights, TheaterMania, StageBuddy, and CityGuideNY.
